Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn told PJ Media that he opposes having a special counsel investigate the IRS targeting conservatives.

“I actually think it’s probably a mistake to call for a special counsel – actually what it’s called now – because they’re appointed by Eric Holder and that’s really the fox guarding the hen house,” Cornyn, Senate minority whip, told PJ Media on Capitol Hill.

“No accountability, and just rife with conflicts of interest.”

Some Republicans and Democrats have said a special counsel is needed to find out who was responsible for holding tea party and other conservative organizations applying for tax-exempt status to special requirements.

Ohio Republican Sen. Rob Portman has said that a “special counsel is going to end up being necessary here, because it has to be independent of the White House.”

Democratic Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin said he is open to a special counsel.

“I am keeping an open mind on that. I wouldn’t rule it out in terms of special counsel,” said Durbin.

My first thought was maybe Sen. Cornyn is correct. Then I saw Sen. McCain's name and changed my mind. As things stand today, my inclination is to think that the best way is always the opposite of what McCain suggests.

After all this...if these jackwagons allow the IRS to have any enforcement oversight over obamacare whatsoever, we will then know that the Republican party is no different from the Democrats. Obamacare and the IRS both need to be defunded asap! Old Yellowstain sure isn't going to fight either one...support Ted Cruz - abolish the IRS and enact a flat tax.
